With the 2023/24 Championship season coming to a close, Leeds United have a quick turnaround to prepare for the 2024/25 campaign.

Daniel Farke was unable to secure a top-two finish in the league and had to traverse through the play-offs.

The Whites were unable to beat the Saints, with Adam Armstrong’s first-half finish resulting in yet another year in the Championship.
Attention will quickly turn towards the coming season though, with some big challenges ahead, so with that said, here’s a look at some key dates for your diary.
